title: Use of ileum in reconstruction of the congenitally abnormal posterior urethra in two children.
abstract: The construction of a posterior urethra when a healthy anterior urethra is not available is surgically challenging. We describe two children in whom the posterior urethra was constructed from a segment of ileum. Both children had a satisfactory outcome; one has been followed up for 10 years and one for 1 year.
